    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    Church fathers and Jewish historians said there was a Septuagint. But you say there wasn’t. Who should I believe? You? Or them? Do you also believe the Earth is flat? The moon landing was faked? Do you think the Holocaust never happened? How much history are you going to say doesn’t really...

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    Exodus 1:5 says that 70 people were in Jacob’s family. But Stephen the Martyr says 75 people in Acts 7:14. Are you going to make fun of the Bible now and say it can’t get its story straight? They call it the “translation of the 70” as kind of a shorthand for the 72 translators. There’s no big...

    I guess we’re just going to ignore what this post was originally about???

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    But how did Origen’s translation exist in the days of Justin Martyr? Don’t you get it? Justin Martyr quotes from the “Translation of the Seventy”, and then when I look it up in my Septuagint, it reads the way Justin quoted it, which is DIFFERENT than the Masoretic, but the SAME as in my...

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    Andrew isn’t claiming the New Testament is corrupt. He’s claiming that the New Testament proves that the Greek Septuagint is sometimes more accurate and true to the original Hebrew than today’s corrupt Hebrew Masoretic.

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    That doesn’t explain how Origen “authored” it. Do you know what it means to author something? If I say that C.S. Lewis authored “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe” then that means that it DIDN’T EXIST before he was born. Please explain how Origen “authored” the Alexandrian manuscripts (as...

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    Aside from your weird belief about the Septuagint, what about the original question? It’s not just the Septuagint that puts the flood at 5,000 years ago. It’s also the Samaritan Bible, and also Josephus. They’re BEFORE the time of Origen. Also there’s Theophilus, a church father from the 2nd...

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    You’re not making sense. Justin Martyr had the Septuagint BEFORE the time of Origen. So what was it that Justin Martyr had?

    What is the Urim and Thummim?

    “And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord. So Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.” -Exodus 28:30 - Bible Gateway passage: Exodus...

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    You’re not making logical sense. How did Origen author the Septuagint when he wasn’t even born yet?

    I love how you’re now smarter than the best Bible Scholars, Linguists, and Theologians in all of England in the early 1600’s.

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    Where’s the proof that the letter of Aristeas is fraudulent and full of lies? Present your evidence. Where’s your proof that the Septuagint didn’t exist prior to Origen? Present it. Justin Martyr talked about the Greek Septuagint. He defended it as the accurate translation of the Bible. And...

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    Where is the original book of Genesis Moses wrote with his hand? Present it. Dude, seriously? We don’t have the originals. We just have later copies. Same is true of the Septuagint. Seriously?

    How do you know it’s really the Titanic? Does it still have “Titanic” painted on the side? Maybe it’s another shipwreck. Maybe it’s a counterfeit ship that some Alexandrian put there and claimed it to be the Titanic! Come on man, this is nonsense.

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    I can also say “the titanic never existed” That doesn’t change the facts of history. But don’t believe history. Believe me. The titanic never existed. Your claim that the Septuagint never existed is just as ridiculous.

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    You’re not making sense. Jewish historians and Church fathers who PRE-DATE the time of Origen wrote about the Hebrew Scriptures being translated from Hebrew into Greek by 70 interpreters during the reign of Ptolemy II, which was about 250 BC. Origen lived in the 200’s AD. You know the difference...

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    I literally have no clue what you’re talking about. You say “there is no Septuagint” Huh? What? Then what are all these manuscripts of the Septuagint? What are all these church fathers and Jewish Historians talking about? What do you mean “There is no Septuagint”? What does that mean? I...

    I believe Noah’s flood was 5,000 years ago, not 4,400.

    Are you going to say that Origen invented the Septuagint???? Because if you are, then just know that there are a number of Jewish historians and church fathers who PRE-DATE the time of Origen, and they attest to the fact that the Hebrew Scriptures were translated out of Hebrew and into Greek...

    Is observing Lent a good idea?

    I’m observing lent because the bank lent me money, because my pockets have nothing but lint.
